your program is pretty awesome but....

I'm having a little trouble with the dismiss keys.

I used widgetlocker which is (in my opinion) the most necessary and awesome app i have.

When I use the power button to dismiss..pressing it once will dismiss the notifications and twice will take me to my lock screen (the widgetlocker replacement) which is awesome...perfect..

the home button though.. dismisses the icons and lights up my phone to the original fascinate lock screen. sadly i almost always hit this button when taking my phone out of my pocket....

so overall...

it completely ruins the functionality of your app for me.

I just wish I could disable the home button :(

everything would be awesome

anyone nice work

thanks for creating something everyone can be stoked on!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
seems more like a widgetlocker problem to me.

if your screen is off, and you press the home key to power your device on, what happens ? do you get the widgetlocker screen, or the fascinate lock screen ? I think you should contact them about that problem though (they're pretty responsive and I had the occasion of exchanging some ideas with the developer)
[Android Apps and Games] midopama:
In the new beta, I could not find the notification for K9-mail.
[Android Apps and Games] derekedw:
Thank You sir....if the phone is in your pocket, the only touch it's going to respond to is a capacitative touch right? so like pressing against your denim or cotton material won't initiate a touch? Only when it comes into contact with skin or some sort of static?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
From my understanding, that is correct
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
reinstall ?

this is really weird, seems Android takes out permissions when you update a program.

Are you getting any permission problem mini popups ? it should say something about K-9 permission errors when you activate NoLED through the widget or when you open the settings screen.
[Android Apps and Games] grb:
Is there a way to keep the 3rd party theme photos from showing up in my Gallery?

I'm sure this has been addressed, but the searches I've done have not found any thing on the topic.

I tried renaming the folder to ".theme" but then NoLED defaults to the original theme.

TIA, really cool app btw
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i believe i read somewhere earlier that you need to place an empty file inside the image directory and call it .nomedia

can't be too sure though, haven't tried it myself.
[Android Apps and Games] grb:
That did it. I placed the empty .nomedia folder in the themes folder. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] yh1224:
Is there a way to support notify by NoLED from my app like K-9 mail?

Many Japanese users needs native support for "spmode mail"(Japanese carrier mail).

My unofficial app has ability to know if arriving that mail, and want to notify by NoLED.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yes, we need to talk !

Does your app replace docomo's client ? or does the docomo client have public APIs (broadcasts) that I can use to notify users of that ?

Thing is, no documentation about that phone whatsoever, and without that, its very hard to code. I just need to know whether your app will work as a "link", or will it completely replace sp mode mail's software. If its the former, then I can put that link and integrate it into NoLED without the need to install another app.
[Android Apps and Games] yh1224:
My app is not a mail client.

Since docomo doesn't public any interface specification, so I just tried to observe debug log (logcat) to find receiving mail(WAP PUSH). This works fine so far. My app can only check if received or not. (cannot get mail contents)

I can implement some broadcast or provider for NoLED to just notify mail arrival.
[Android Apps and Games] midwayhero:
I have one problem since 3.0.x

You added the calendar notifications and I didn´t check "Calendar" at "toggle notifications" and "Use icons".

Now, if I missed an event then NoLed shows me the green dot on the screen.

But I don´t want it, have you a solution to stop it ? For example to deactivate "Calendar" completely ?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
sent you a pm, please check it.

I double checked the code, the calendar toggle should work. I haven't touched that in the latest builds, so if it worked earlier, it should work still.

Try to enable/disable NoLED from the widget. This will make NoLED register to event listeners again from scratch. Maybe the bug is in the on/off switch of calendar events after all. Let me know if this works (it really should).
[Android Apps and Games] BL4zD:
looks interesting...
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

Can you give instructions on exactly the steps you took? I'd like to do this for my NoLED themes as well and see if I can do it for album art too.:)
[Android Apps and Games] DaPitt84:
There are alot of pages so any help would be great. Love what no led does. I do seem to have bad battery life and i think it's cause of my settings. Can someone recommend the best settings for notification on this.

I wanted to use the proximity sensor but all i get is it turn off the backlight when i try to turn it on. will not go to the unlock screen. Anyone else having this problem? Any help would be great. Would love to keep this but the poximity sensor option won't let me past the black screen with the icon floating around.
[Android Apps and Games] stevedb:
Can't get audio notifications to work

I've tried every setting I can change (I think) to see if I can get audio notifications to work, but without success - everything else work fine, though, and the app is excellent!

Can anyone suggest anything? Am I missing an audio file?

(NoLED v.3.5.1.3 on Samsung Galaxy S - UK)

Thanks - Steve
[Android Apps and Games] fylim:
love the app. Wonder if it is possible to also show something like phone alive blinks / battery charging ?
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

I had the same problem not too many pages back but can't remember what I had to do to solve it. LOL! I do remember I had to do a reboot at the end and it was working. If you put the cursor on my name you'll get a dropdown list, them you can choose 'search all posts by RaymondPJR' and it is there. Sorry, I'm so sleep deprived I can't think straight.:)

Edit: Found it on pages 149 and 150 of this post
[Android Apps and Games] KeesKaas:
Is it possible to use this for 'whatsapp'?

Excellent work.
[Android Apps and Games] FL00DY:
Like madmack says, we aren't here to judge how each other use our phones, and you seem to have missed the point of my feature request ...

madmack however has it spot on. I only reckon the time should be triggered when a notification is raised. Will have a look at the beta, thanks very much :)
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
This can be a very useful application. However I noticed that when I dismiss the notification by pressing the "Home" button, I proceed to the lock screen and swipe the mail icon. After swiping the mail icon, there's a 5 second lag between the launcher pro screen and the Messaging screen. Uninstalling NoLED removes said lag, so I think it's the app that's lagging the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] FL00DY:
LOVE the time so far, if I was being greedy .. could we change the colour of it when it makes a released build? Off to send a donation your way :)
[Android Apps and Games] stevedb:
No audio notifications

Thanks Raymond -- I tried your suggestion but still no luck with audio notifications. I'm wondering now that I may be missing a sound file. Could it be that the US and UK versions of the galaxy have different stock sound files installed?

Steve
[Android Apps and Games] midwayhero:
Ok, I´ve found that the problem must be something with the Google-Calendar sync.

If I add an event manually in the calendar, everything works fine with NoLed, no green dot on the screen

But if it is an event, synchronized with my Google-Account, then the green dot is on the screen.

Do you have an idea ?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
interesting point. if that's the case, then what you need to do is select one of the google calendars when you setup a new event (the calendar event chosen can also be set as default, that way you won't have to go through this every time). So when you set it up, look for "Calendar" or "which calendar" and you should have choices such as "my calendar" "google calendar"..

Seems my app checks google synced calendars only, which is not a totally bad thing given that "My calendar" is most likely a samsung thing and most likely won't apply to other devices anyways.

sure, i'll get that done. glad you like the time setup. I'm also thinking of setting up some (optional) battery charging status. perhaps a color with some percentage. i keep getting requests for that feature, once thats done, i think we can release a new version out to the market. after going through a beta stage here for a while :)

if you use the "back" button, all callback listeners and schedulers get to be destroyed (read turned off) when you press that button. When you press the home button, the cleanup process only happens when you unlock your screen. that's why there is a delay. I bet if you'd wait a while after unlocking, phone will be back to responsive. I can't change that fact however, because pressing the Home button cannot be detected programatically. I can only detect whether my app is gone from the user's screen, but that also happens when you get a missed call or sms.. so u really don't want to run all the cleanup process when the notification screen disappears, but rather when the user unlocks his lock screen :) or explicitly press the back key (which is detectable using the android APIs).

a bit too technical, but there you go ;)
[Android Apps and Games] riNNma:
Is there any possibility to add an option to choose another signal in the sound notification? It would be just great.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
So... use the "back" button to dismiss the notification and then get to home screen and not the "home" button? I didn't understand your post very well lol
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yep. Just enable "use back button" from noled settings, then when you see a notification. Press the back button.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
FFC banding

I hope you're not trying to use one of the sound notifications from the phone like you can for different events. Those don't work. There is a 'ding' the is included in NoLed because of copywrite issues. It should just work if you've checked the box to receive a sound notification. I would try the next Market update or manually install the new beta. I like the new sound notification because it allows me to lower the notification timeout which saves me battery power.:)
[Android Apps and Games] riNNma:
to madmack

I repeat my question: Is there any possibility to add an option to choose own signal for the sound notification?
[Android Apps and Games] jaker.the.skater:
either transfer it to the internal sd card (the 13 ish gb one) or the external sd card. from there either use the "files" app that comes on the vibrant or some other file explorer, and select the app, then install it.
[Android Apps and Games] i1fang:
1 bug found.

if home Launcher is not set as default, when screen is off & notification comes in, there is no way to go into unlock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Ogmodon:
I read the original post, and yes I saw the home screen button mention. It however did not work the first time forcing me to remove the battery.

That being said, lets see if we can please get this app to work for me. I am using the standard text app that came with the phone. I am also not getting the notification when I miss a call, or if I reject a call. Have tried both.
[Android Apps and Games] JoePR31:
Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] kkm883:
bug?

-missed call doesnt work but if I switch power on after missed call, then it will show the red in top left.

work:

-SMS perfect..

I hope you will update for gmail notification and custom color if you can

my samsung galaxy i9000 is rooted and 2.1 version

firmware: I9000XXJF3
[Android Apps and Games] ovenfresh:
working, woot

is working great on my captivate, gunna see if i throw my custom notification into the samung default notification folder instead of my own if it works now, will update

UPDATE: threw my custom notification into the samsung default folder and renamed it, rebooted, and the custom notification works too..

ive sent myself emails and sms and both are working perfectly, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] fouzhi:
Yo brother....just a suggestion, why don't you changing the notification by blinking the LED back light of the Menu/Back capacitive touch button? I think that is more practical and avoid any potential risk that could damage the pixel of LCD. The blinking frequency could be like 0.5s or 1s once, that's make sense to me.

Hi madmack. Thanks a loto for your wonderful job. I'm from Italy and the led notification it was one of the thing i missed more on my Galaxy S and your .apk works perfectly. Thank you again.

Max
[Android Apps and Games] m8te:
Excellent many thanks for this.
[Android Apps and Games] EarlZ:
@madmack

Will the power usage be equal to the phone in idle state aside from the few red pixels that are powered up or is the phone totally out of idle state when the notification is up ??
[Android Apps and Games] seraphine:
Actually I wouldn't mind paying for something like this. Give you a kick-back for doing what no one else is?

Of course, you'd have to make it available outside of market since my country (Malaysia) has no market yet :(
[Android Apps and Games] Buddhaboy:
I'm using the Vibrant on T-Mobile...

... and when I download the file it says my phone doesn't support it. Any idea why?
[Android Apps and Games] ZeCoder:
Great fix.

Thanks for your nice work.

There is one problem that I noticed. When you use Apps that will show pop-ups on the screen at some events, like Handscent SMS the pop-up will show on the screen because the screen is already ON. So that will consume the battery and could burn out the screen.

And there is many Apps that use pop-ups. So I think we need fix for that issue.

Thanks again :)

edit: I also noticed that the screen recive touch input when there is pop-ups. So that could lead to other problems like un-intended user input. Because most pop-ups contain buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] defconoi:
this is a great idea, instead just use the little email/mms/missed call icons instead
[Android Apps and Games] gbishop18:
Will this work on the incredible's amoled screen?
[Android Apps and Games] ZeCoder:
I think a solution for the issue that I mentioned above is making the "NoLED" layer the higher layer on the screen always, then it will cover any pop-up that could show on the screen.

I don't know if this is possible, but I thought I should share the idea.

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mithent:
That's what I'm wondering - I was initially skeptical that something could be on screen with the CPU in standby. But happy to be proven wrong if so!
[Android Apps and Games] dynamics_blue:
just a suggestion but would it not be easier on the screen if this was just made into a screensaver?
[Android Apps and Games] psycada:
Thanks

You should consider yourself a hero. I read a suggestion yesterday to use the amoled for a notifier, but a lot of people dismissed it as using too many resources. I am very glad you did this and found a way to minimize resource use.

I am using the ATT Captivate and I to used ADB to sideload the .apk. I can happily say it works splendidly.

The icons mentioned by XQ55 are nice, alternate colors may work too. IMHO, I prefer whichever uses less resources.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
this very thread has the answer for you, but i guess ppl don't search for answers anymore, so lets do it the spoon-feeding lazy way:

(repeating) currently no, for reasons stated above. but that should be done sometime in the future through custom loaded tones in the /sdcard/noled folder.

People, if you didn't get an answer from me, either the question was stated previously, or I don't know the answer.
[Android Apps and Games] riNNma:
yea, you're right - no-f..-way people would read all the 159 pages in order to find a simple answer on a simple question.

anyway - thank you for your answer.

it wasn't too hard, was it?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
ever heard of a "search" function in a thread ? yea, thought so.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
No offense, but search function can be highly overrated... Countless times I've been flamed for not using the search function when I have used it. Could be bad keywords used or whatever, which results in "nothing found" situation.

And I'll give the back button a try =)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I agree with you. but I think people should also understand that we do this in our free time and we don't work as customer service here.

so we shouldn't be expected to answer every single question, let alone twice which can, honestly, get tiring after a while. there is no fun for us in doing customer support, twice.

that whole "am asking again" threw me off.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

You could've at least tried first, then if you came up empty that would be understandable. I just did a little searching myself on why the letters don't appear on the dial pad while on a call in Obsidian. Nothing on the Obsidian thread, but Google led me eventually to the right xda thread for the answer. If that had failed, then I would have asked on the Obsidian thread. Took almost half an hour to track it down but now I have a new .apk that will fix the problem.

I don't think it's asking too much for people to first attempt to find info on their own.
[Android Apps and Games] aritafari:
Madmack,

For what it is worth, you are doing an admirable job.

[Android Apps and Games] riNNma:
O-o, I'm sorry.... I didn't know you were that sensitive...

By the way - the Russian translation in your app sucks. Just for your knowledge..
[Android Apps and Games] okorn_:
Madmack, thank you for this great app.

Must have on SGS.

I really missed the notification LED from my ex Milestone, but this is much better.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
feel free to upgrade it :) instructions are on the website.
[Android Apps and Games] grenade01:
With noLED active... Home button pressed once takes me to the original fascinate lock screen. When I do not use NoLED, home button is inactive and does nothing. I actually prefer it inactive, I accidently press it a lot more often than the power button.

Power button once dismisses noLED notifications (screen remains black)... twice takes me to widgetlocker lock screen.

Yeah I figured, I just thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks again for spending your spare time to make something for everyone. I don't expect you to hunt down conflicts caused by other people's apps or anything like that.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] stevedb:
Still no audio

No - I thought I didn't have the particular 'ding' file that madmack used. Didn't know it was hard-coded in the app. I've tried different versions and now just tried the latest beta 3.5.2.1b, but still nothing :(. I'm on eclair 2.1 T-mobile if that makes any difference? (Is there anyone out there with a UK SGS, eclair 2.1, T-mobile, who has audio notifications working?)
[Android Apps and Games] riNNma:
Under other circumstances I defenitely would be happy to help.. but not such a hysterical girl like you. I took away the app from my phone. NoLED=NoTHANKS. Adios
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Are you using any of the features that turn the screen off ? Turning the screen off tends to interfere with the vibration and the audio notifications.

also, make sure you have the time set to something greater than 5 seconds, and that your phone is not in either silent or vibrate mode. You'll also need to make sure that your notification volume is not set all the way down. These volume controls are in Android's audio settings.

If all of that still doesn't work, try to reinstall the app. I don't know why exactly, but it seems some old settings and variables stay in the phone even after the update. an uninstall/reboot/install usually fixes these kind of problems.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Wow. Just wow. Adios to you too.

@grenade. So you're saying that with NoLED installed, when your screen is off and phone is in sleep mode, pressing the "Home" button takes you to the lock screen? I don't think it should do that. I just tried it on my Captivate and pressing the "Home" button doesn't do anything to it. It only does something when NoLED is showing a missed notification.

I still didn't change it to use the back key instead of the home key btw. Gonna change it now.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
jesus man.. how old are you ?

you seriously could've at least asked nicely, and got your answer. instead, you choose to go down this childish path. dude, nobody is forcing you to use any app. i'm sharing my work free of charge to people who find it useful, you're free to use it or leave it.

sucks to have so many non constructive posts when all we really need is to move this project forward together.

enough off topics posts on my end
[Android Apps and Games] stevedb:
It works now!

Thanks madmack - you did it! I went through all your settings for NoLED and they were ok. However, it was the android setting 'Phone vibrate' under 'Sound and display' that I had ticked (i.e. I had ring+vibrate). I unticked this and it now works perfectly!:)

Thanks again - Steve.
[Android Apps and Games] LordDarlymple:
Danke..

Thanks. I install only very very very few apps to conserve the battery - and yours is one of the them :). I use large icons for the three different email accounts and the other ones, and love to visual ala-blackberry-like indicator. Thanks!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritafari:
Home Vs Back Buttons

Regarding using the Home versus Back button in dismissing notifications this is my experience.

1. Pushing the Home button dismisses the notification, takes me to the unlock (Android) screen. No lag, no issues of any kind.

2. Enabling 'use the back button' also takes me to the unlock screen but the Home button continues to do the same.

So instead of having both the Home & Back buttons dismiss the notification, I disabled the Back button and only use the Home button.

Unless I misread prior discussions on this topic, it appears that it is not encouraged to use the Home button. Am I mistaken?

LG Optimus P509, NOLed 3.5.1.3, Tasker 1.0.13
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
If "Home" works perfectly fine for you, there is really no need to switch to using the "Back" button. I recommend it to people suffering from lags and lockscreen stutter after hitting "home".

"back" gets rid of the noled notification screen proper, while "Home" might not.

Yes, I'm glad you got that solved. Madmack it the man!
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Is this normal when I get a text message, the sound is delayed and the screen flashes on for a quick half a second then back off into the NoLED notification page? I seem to be getting all kinds of problems lol. I don't want my screen to die after a month of use or whatever.
